My Story

May the grace of the Lord be with you! My heart is overjoyed for having the opportunity to share a little bit about my life with you. I am Estuardo Gamaliel Gomez Sanail and I will turn 11 years old in November. I attend the fourth grade at San Sebastian school and I prefer cold weather rather than hot. To contribute to the chores, I usually wash the dishes and put away the shoes. By the grace of the Lord, I am in good health and I have a lovely family. Could you please pray for my brother and mother? My parents take my brother to the neurologist since he suffers from headaches, but he is under treatment. Unfortunately, my mother suffers from anxiety and depression, but she will buy her prescribed medicine soon.

My mother is a housewife and sells homemade snacks once a week to support my family together with my father, who works in the maintenance area for a hotel. We live with my grandfather and some of my uncles. They contribute to cover the household expenses. My family and I do not attend any church at the moment, but we know that we must do everything according to God’s will. Sister Princesa (a member of the LW staff) recently shared the gospel with my mother and me as an encouragement to look for God and give us assurance of our salvation because of the love and mercy of the Lord. To end this letter, I send you many huge hugs. Until next time!

Sincerely yours,

Estuardo Gamaliel Gomez Sanail
